That would be awesome. Thanks, Scotty! Let me know if you need my mailing info again.

So, I finally finished the job! I spent plenty of time making sure I got all the uncured epoxy removed from around the edge before applying the final coat (i de-glossed using 100 grit sandpaper on an orbital sander). With this last coat, I felt far more confident working with the HD Epoxy. I...

Thanks, guys. I'll be glad when this job is done and will certainly report back to share the final result. Scotty - would appreciate prompt shipping on that last batch of HD Epoxy!

So, to save myself more problems, I've ordered enough HD Epoxy to fully recoat the garage. I guess there's no problem with having 3 coats of epoxy, is there? I'll monitor the floor over the next few days to see how the lower half hardens. Right now, it seems fine - just the edge that hasn't...

Scotty - the coding on one of the tins of Part A is: B3RG-272 80/0130. If i place the order for one last kit online, are you able to get me a tin from the same batch? I'm sure this problem is all down to a mixing problem. Nothing else explains it. Half the room looks fantastic! Thanks, James.

Scotty, What do you mean by "box your color"? I just checked the finished floor (after almost 24 hours) and the edging that I painted first is not curing. It's a darker shade than the rest of the first batch from yesterday and I can easily impress my thumbprint into it. I'm scratching my head...

There was a prior post that I started about this project, but thought I'd start a fresh one as the old post title would be a bit misleading now. To cut a long story short, I was today installing a second coat of Legacy Industrial HD Epoxy (Medium Gray). The first coat went down okay (did that a...

The keying-in sounds like my only hope. Taping just isn't working for me. So, the idea is to carefully push the epoxy into the cut, where it pools and goes no further? Just want to be sure... I have a circular saw with adjustable depth and can pick up a diamond blade fairly cheaply, so this...

Thanks. I'll use 100 grit. A few other questions while we're at it: 1. In some areas the urthane pooled a bit thick (such as around the low-hanging garage door guide rails). I'd like to level them out. No problem doing that, is there? I would carefully grind down those spots to make them level...

Scotty - do you agree with the earlier comment here about hand-sanding using 60 grit to degloss? I realize it will take a bit of time, but want to be sure I get the surface properly prepared for the second (and final!) coat of epoxy.

Absolutely. I have zero concerns with the Legacy Industrial product. Didn't mean for the thread title to imply anything like that. Sorry, Legacy! My issues are all of my own making, and I look forward to getting them fixed and enjoying what I know will end up being a great floor.

Should I have any concerns about adhesion of the new layer of epoxy to the de-glossed surface? I was worried that the urethane coating would cause me a problem. Also, the area isn't huge (400 square feet). Is it feasible to do it all with an orbital sander that isn't one of the big machines...

Thanks, Scotty. I probably will call you tomorrow. Would I have to re-apply the joint filler, or couldn't I just grind it flush to the floor? The filler was only put in recently and seemed to adhere well. When applying the new coat of epoxy, I guess it will settle in the ridge and stay even with...

I should add that I'm perfectly willing to put another coat of epoxy and urethane on, i just want to be clear on the correct procedure for preparing the surface for that. I'm sure I'll get it right the second time! The concrete was acid etched and I have no concerns about the initial coat not...

So, despite months of reading and preparing myself for the task, I still managed to do a sub-par installation on my 400 square foot garage floor. I installed: Legacy Industrial Primer Legacy Industrial HD Epoxy Legacy Industrial Urethane top coat I also did a medium broadcast of flakes. What...
